"Great Condition" don't cut it. Has to be NIB, untouched, unturned, with all original packing and documentation. To maintain it's collectors value as a commemorative. I kid you not, I have seen guys who collect commemoratives going over them with a magnifying glass looking for the slightest imperfection or handling mark. 0 -

thanks for the help guys. now i have a better idea of what to do. [:)] 0 -
If you like guns because they are fun to shoot Then a Commemrative one is the worst item you can buy. one shot and value goes to 50 % .if you like guns because you want to put them in a sealed glass case never to be touched then you can't go wrong with this one except it is about $300.00 over what it is worth [V] 0 -
The Frontier Scout is a really well made gun, & in demand; it's a great plinker or trail gun.
In any condition < what rufe-snow describes, it would likely sell in the $400-500 range. Wait & see, the seller may realize that he has to adjust his asking price down to the market price.

"Never been fired" is one thing, cylinder turning is another. Is there a fine line on the cylinder where it has been turned? As Rufe pointed out, it has to be PERFECT to get top money....and his $800 price is about $300 above what PERFECT Colt .22 boxed comm's are bringing in this down market. I have a dozen or so of them (Alamo, WV, Dakota, Maine..etc) and follow them closely. If it has ANY mark on it (and I would go over it with a glass before buying) I would not offer more than $400 and use it as a shooter. Sadly, if it is PERFECT it has to become a "safe queen" to keep its value. That is the Comm game! Good luck[:)]0 -

I agree with the above valuations and they've stayed in that range for the past 10 years or so. Obviously, not a strong investment.
Merry Christmas to you as well! [:)]0
